That recording featured Renée Doria as Fanny and Giné Sirera as Jean Gaussin. Both are quite good in the roles, although Doria sounds considerably older than Milla Andrew. It gives the role a very different dimension. The EMI sound is superior to the Opera d’Oro, but the performances are equally good. If the EMI/Pathé Marconi should ever be released on CD, Opera […]
